Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

As he spoke, Han Tao opened the gift box in his hand and took a look. It turned out that there was a blue striped tie of GUCCI brand inside.

Seeing that Han Tao didn't look disgusted, Zhu Suosuo asked expectantly, "Brother Han, do you like it?"

Han Tao looked at her with a smile, but did not answer. Instead, he kissed her directly, telling her the result with practical actions.

"Woo..."

Zhu Suosuo's face flushed, her eyes were tightly closed, and her body gradually heated up.

Han Tao gently savored the taste of her fiery red lips, and Zhu Suosuo responded enthusiastically, humming from time to time.

After a long time, their lips parted and Zhu Suosuo looked at the night view outside the car window. Han Tao smiled and slowly held her left hand, interlocking their fingers. Zhu Suosuo turned her head away, embarrassed to look at him.

Looking at Zhu Suosuo, whose face was flushed and whose clothes were a little messy, Han Tao had a feeling that even if he took Zhu Suosuo at this moment, she would not resist much.

But Han Tao didn't want to do that. The occasion was not appropriate. He still had some personal qualities. The upper class had its own way of doing things. At all times, they must have the minimum respect. It would be beneath his status to eat in an ugly manner.

After arriving at the alley where the Luo family lived, Han Tao tidied up Zhu Suosuo's clothes and then helped her get out of the car.

He waited until she walked into the building before returning to the car and signaling Yang Dongxu to drive back to the Ode to Joy community.

Chapter 111: Nothing But Thirty, the Heroines Gather

The next day, because it was Saturday, Han Tao had a day off. After getting up early for a morning run, he communicated with Wendy about the progress of the law firm's case and prepared to go to Grand Hyatt after reading the materials.

There was also a problem at Grand Hyatt Mansion. The owners and property management discovered that suddenly all the elevators were out of service.

Because the property front desk was short of staff, in order to facilitate the owners, the front desk asked for help from the marketing department.

They said they needed a few people to provide support, mainly responsible for delivering some things to the owner and helping to receive express deliveries.

When Zhong Xiaoqin and many colleagues heard about this, they started to get busy. No one wanted to take this job because everyone was afraid of climbing stairs. Grand Hyatt Residence is not a villa, the highest floor is 21.

Not to mention taking things, even if you don’t bring anything, climbing up there is definitely a painful experience. After all, it’s tiring to climb up to the fifth or sixth floor normally.

The head of the marketing department also knew what everyone was thinking, but this was a task, and someone had to complete it, so he looked at the newcomer Zhong Xiaoyang and said:

"Xiaoyang, aren't you busy? You're young and healthy, and your legs are faster!"

"Okay, then let's go together!"

After saying that, he looked at Zhong Xiaoqin, and the supervisor followed his gaze to look at the lazy girl who was reading sticky notes.

Seeing that both of them were looking at her, Zhong Xiaoqin quickly stated, "We are busy. I still have a lot of opinions to sort out."

"Come on, sister. I'll fix it for you when you're done!"

Zhong Xiaoyang stood up and walked out of his workstation, and asked Zhong Xiaoqin to join him without caring whether she was willing or not.

Seeing this, the supervisor immediately made the decision: "Okay, Xiaoqin will go with you!"

"I……"

Zhong Xiaoqin looked at her supervisor, then glared at Zhong Xiaoyang fiercely. She found out she was pregnant last night and really didn't want to make this trip.

But the supervisor had already spoken, so she had no choice but to get up and go to the front desk of Junyue Mansion.

………………

At the same time, in Room 403 on the fourth floor of Binhe Building, Wang Manni, who had just gotten up and washed, squeezed toothpaste while pressing the answer button on her phone and said:

"Mom, what's going on?"

"Nini, are you at work?"

A middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, with concern in her words.

Wang Manni filled the toothbrush holder with water and said, "I'll be there in a while. I have a shift at 10 o'clock today. Tell me what's going on!"

"Nini, we received the money you sent us. We knew you must be busy yesterday, so we're telling you today!"

Wang Manni rinsed her mouth and reminded him, "Just receive it, don't save it and be reluctant to spend it!"

"I just wanted to tell you this. You've sent back a lot of money over the years, and your father and I saved it. Now, with our combined contributions, we've already collected a hundred thousand yuan!"

"Don't I tell you every month not to save? It's only two thousand yuan a month, just for your pocket money, why don't you listen?"

Wang Manni was helpless about her parents' behavior. They were really used to being frugal. It was really pitiful to see the love of parents in the world!

"We have nowhere to spend our money. You're all alone in Shanghai, and you have plenty of places to spend it! You work so hard to make money, and you don't even rest when you're sick. We can't help much, so we'll save as much as we can."

Wang Manni put down her toothbrush and replied helplessly: “My expenses here depend on income, not savings. I can make enough money if I do a few more orders a month.

And didn’t I tell you that I received two million-level orders this month, and the commission was quite a lot.

Don't save what I give you. If you use this money to buy an extra dish for your three meals a day, I will feel more comfortable. You can't let me feel at ease."

Wang Manni's mother on the phone knew that her daughter felt sorry for them, but as a mother, she felt even more sorry for her daughter, especially after knowing that she was sick, she became even more worried.

So she pondered for a long time, forced a smile and said, "Okay, okay, Mom knows what you mean.

But we don't have much to spend money on, so if we save it, we'll eventually accumulate a large sum of money, and then we can do great things, right? "

"What big thing are you guys up to? Is there something at home that needs money?"

After saying that, Wang Manni wiped her mouth, walked out of the bathroom, and poured herself a large glass of water.

"No, what could possibly happen at home? We're all fine! It was your father who asked me to ask if you wanted to use this money to get someone to help you find a good job when you come back!"

I'd better renovate your house. After all, you haven't lived in it for seven or eight years, so you should clean it up anyway!"

Wang Manni frowned when she heard the words, and asked in confusion: "Go home! Mom, when did I say I was going home?"

"Three years ago, you said that when you turned 30, you would either buy a house in Shanghai or marry someone who had a house. If you didn't have either, you would go home."

"three years ago?"

Wang Manni recalled that her mother had said that when she came to Shanghai to see her, so she said helplessly:

"Oh my god, those were the harsh words I said when I was heartbroken, how could you take them seriously!"

"What's wrong with saying something harsh? It's the truth! You'll be thirty in a few months, and I don't think either of those two wishes you made will come true.

Nini, just accept your fate. It would be great if you could come home, find a job, find a reliable boyfriend to marry, and live a stable life!

If you say you must stay in that big city, you earn over 10,000 yuan a month, but you have to pay rent, provide us with living expenses, and even feed yourself. At the end of the year, you're left with nothing. What are you waiting for? Is it to gain more years?"

Wang Manni, whose pain was touched, sighed and replied dejectedly:

"Mom, I won't leave Shanghai no matter what! I won't talk to you anymore. I haven't had breakfast yet. You can wait until I'm full before we talk about whether to accept your fate or not!"

"Okay, I won't force you anymore. Okay, as long as you can find a boyfriend as soon as possible, like Xiao Han who was with you in the hospital that day, I'd think it would be great. If you two confirm your relationship, then I won't urge you to come back.

Think about it carefully. You'll be thirty soon, Nini. If you don't find someone yourself, I'll arrange some blind dates for you. Let me tell you...?"

"Mom, you are my real mom, please don't arrange blind dates for me. None of the ones you introduced me to before were reliable. I have my own plans, so I won't tell you anymore!"

Without waiting for her mother to nag, Wang Manni hung up the phone. While savoring her mother's words, she just thought of Han Tao when she received a message.

After watching it, she quickly finished the lunch box on the table, then put on makeup, changed clothes and went downstairs.

"Ms. Chen, I'm Wang Manni from Missia. If you're coming over, please let me know in advance. I'll be waiting for you in the store!"

As soon as she arrived at the store, Wang Manni hadn't even caught her breath when she sent a message to Ms. Chen at the urging of the deputy manager.

When the other party didn't reply, she started to change her clothes and then followed everyone else to organize the clothes hangers.

Zoe asked with a smile, "What's going on, Nini? Why didn't Mr. Han send you to work today?"

"My landlord urged me to move, so he was busy with the house these two days and asked the driver to bring me here."

Wang Manni replied happily, but she looked up inadvertently and saw someone standing outside looking at clothes through the glass.

"Let's talk about it later, I'll go over and take a look!"

She is a person who does not let go of any opportunity to sell products. She immediately informed Zoe and went out to say hello:

"Hello ma'am, if you need anything, please come in."

"Hello there!"

Seeing that Wang Manni, who came out to greet him, was very enthusiastic, he looked at his watch and responded politely:

"No, I just saw some really nice clothes in the store, so I took a look. But I still have some things to take care of, so I don't have much time!"

"It's alright, ma'am. Do you want to see men's clothing?"

Wang Manni asked with a smile. She was indeed good at reading people's expressions and could tell at a glance that the other person was looking for clothes for her husband.

Sure enough, the other party nodded and said, "Yes, I want to show it to my husband!"

"It's quite difficult to find someone this way. You can try bringing your husband along next time."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of going in, Wang Manni patiently replied,

"Okay, he's the perfect guy to come. I live above your store. I'll bring him over later. Bye!"

"goodbye!"

Wang Manni said goodbye to the other party with a smile. She never thought that this woman would soon become her close friend.

This is a strong woman who transformed her husband from a fireworks programmer into "Mr. Xu" and also made herself the top boss at home and in the company.

Similarly, this is also a full-time housewife who is proficient in sports, cooking, housekeeping, languages, skin care, etc. Han Tao will definitely recognize her here. She is Gu Jia, the perfect wife in the eyes of many people.

Chapter 112 Zhong Xiaoqin's Dilemma

In room 1201 on the 12th floor of Grand Hyatt Mansion, Gu Jia was listening to the company's accountant introducing the recent financial situation of the fireworks company to her.

Although Li Zhengzhi, one of the company's two major customers, signed a three-year contract because he had leverage over him, his orders could only maintain the company's normal operations.

Therefore, their fireworks company still needs the support of another big customer, Mr. Wan. However, Mr. Wan has recently had disagreements with her husband Xu Huanshan on cooperation. If they lose his orders, their company's capital chain in the second half of the year will be in danger.

Just when she was at a loss, the nanny Chen Jia walked in and said, "Jia Jia, the property management called and said the elevator was broken."

"The elevator is broken? Don't we have two elevators here?"

Gu Jia looked at the nanny puzzledly and asked.

Sister Chen replied helplessly: "The property management said that both are broken at the moment, so this gentleman may need to go down."

"Oh, it's okay!"

The company accountant waved his hand and responded politely.

However, Gu Jia, who was standing by, pondered for a moment. She thought that since both elevators were broken, wasn’t that her chance?

Last time, with the help of Zhong Xiaoqin, she wanted to visit Mrs. Wang, but she failed because something suddenly happened at Mrs. Wang's home.

But he later found out that Mrs. Wang would attend a gathering of the wives' circle every weekend afternoon.

There is still about an hour before she leaves. If you prepare yourself and wait there in advance, you will definitely meet her.

Thinking of this, Gu Jia immediately said to the accountant beside him:

"That's all for today. I just remembered that there's something else I need to take care of. So I'll think about Mr. Wan's question later, and we'll discuss it on Monday."

"Okay, Sister Jiajia, you go ahead and do your work. I'll be back first. When we get to work on Monday, we'll ask Mr. Xu to discuss this with us."

After saying that, the company accountant stood up and said goodbye, leaving the Gu family's home.

Gu Jia went back to her room to change her clothes, then told the nanny about her son, put on a pair of flat shoes, and prepared to climb the stairs to the 21st floor.

………………

On Zhong Xiaoqin's side, she and her colleague Zhong Xiaoyang were receiving two couriers. When they heard that one package was for the ninth floor and the other was for the fifteenth floor, they were a little scared.

After communicating for a long time, the courier knew that all the elevators were out of service and refused to climb the stairs to deliver the package. This problem could not be solved, so the property staff had to deliver it.

At this time, Zhong Xiaoyang pretended to be generous and said, "Sister, the ninth floor is yours, and I'll take care of the fifteenth floor!"

"I don't appreciate your kindness!"

Zhong Xiaoqin gave Zhong Xiaoyang a sanitary eye. She was so angry. Doesn’t one have to pass through the ninth floor to go to the fifteenth floor?

This isn't the top or second floor. If he really wanted to, why wouldn't he just send them up together? Why is he pretending to be a gentleman?

Seeing her unhappy expression, Zhong Xiaoyang couldn't help but feel proud. The two of them had worked together for many days, and he always tried to get close to her, so how could he not know her situation? So he asked with a smile:

"Why, does my sister want to send you to the fifteenth floor?"

When Zhong Xiaoqin heard what he said, she became even angrier. Without saying a word, she simply snatched the express and went upstairs.

"Hey, sister, sister!"
